Note

It’s a good idea to keep a list of your registered paper types and numbers.

Handling Paper and Other Media 1-25

Setting Paper Configurations

When you use non-EPSON paper or other media, you may need to register the paper’s thickness and drying time. On the EPSON Stylus Pro 9500, you can also register the suction setting. The only way to tell if you need to register new media is by experimentation.

When you’re using a paper stock or other printing material for the first time, always test it on a small print job. If the ink smears or printing is blurred, you need to register the paper’s drying time, and thickness (or suction setting). Registration is not necessary when you use EPSON media. You can register up to four types of paper or other media. Then you can select the registered values whenever you print on that particular stock.

Drying time determines how long the printer will pause between pages or before cutting.

Registering Paper Thickness, Drying Time, and Suction

To register a new paper stock, load it into the printer and follow these steps:

1.Press the SelecType button until PAPER CONFIG. MENU appears on the display.

2.Press the Item button. PAPER NUMBER=STD* appears on the display.

3.If you’re registering your first roll or batch of paper, press the + button to select PAPER NUMBER=1. Then press the Enter button.

For subsequent rolls, continue pressing the + button to select the number you want to register.

4.Press the Item button. THICK. PAT=PRINT appears on the display. Press Enter to print the paper thickness test pattern. You may see
